DFI Infinity 965-S Tests (535 FSB 1:1)

[screwtech02]

I recently figured out my problem. Apparently having Speedfan in my startup list breaks Crossfire on boot. Once I removed that, let Crossfire initialize and start Speedfan manually, I was back in business. Before that the only way to play games was to have Crossfire disabled or Catalyst AI turned off - both resulted in craptastic FPS.

Haven't reinstalled 3DMark since figuring out this problem, but I'll get on that shortly.

Cool, like to see some scores, real world bench's...

in the dram setting i have to set mode 3:

DRAM Timing
#1:Auto//Mode3 (try both)
#2:Auto
#3:Fast
#4:Fast
#5:Auto
#6:Auto
#7:Auto

if i set auto-mode1 or mode 2
mi sys is not stable at 500 1\1
someone can explane me whath really means this settings? wich is fast? auto-mode 1 -2 or 3?

u shd try to disable the C1E option in the CPU Feature in the bios and the +250mv thingy is actually +250mv = +0.25v so it will be like 1.3v + 0.25 v = 1.55v :P
correct me if i am wrong

I don't think your 100% correct. You must first find out what the stock VID of your chip is first, don't assume that the stock VID for all CPU's are 1.3 or 1.325. My stock VID on my E6600 is 1.265, so If i wanted to have 1.515 Vcore I would do this:

1.265 + 0.250 = 1.515Vcore

I'm not much of a bencher, so I'm not sure if I'm doing this right, but I ran 3DMark 01, 03, 05, 06 with the minimum set of tests required to get a score.

3DMark01: 47278
3DMark03: 30183
3DMark05: 15692
3DMark06: 8569

Overdrive clocks are set to: 675/738 (up from stock 600/700)

Cool, thanks for the input man.....

hey what do you guys set auto detect pci clock too,
oh and heres the highest fsb i can get right now, may need way more vmch but will try that next time

[screwtech02]

Anybody runnin 4x1024 with this board and still getting high clocks???

[vengance_01]

Anyone having cold boot issues. My settings are stable. Normally a simple restart on the cold boot will allow me to boot no problems ect..

[MADMAX22]

yep, if it hangs on the bios screen jsut do a reset and itll fire right up, i get that all the time and the reset works if the settings are good

Why does your cpu temp in smartguardian say 206c???
I have auto detect pci to enabled.

can anyone crank up their pci-e clock higher than 105? I had my p5b dlx to 120mhz with no problems to allow a higher video card overclock. with the 965s At 105mhz my 8800gts doesn't overclock as high.

i'm having the same issue... but if i set the :

DRAM Timing
#1:Auto//Mode3 (try both)
#2:Auto
#3:Fast
#4:Fast
#5:Auto
#6:Auto
#7:Auto

if i set auto-mode1 or mode 2 mi sys is not stable at 500 1\1 (cold bot)
if i set it to 3 there is no problem of cold bot

someone can explane me whath really means this settings? wich is fast? auto-mode 1 -2 or 3?

[MADMAX22]

TO TRANSAM the temp is because its on phase so it goes back from 0c but doesnt recognize negative numbers so it starts from the top and works its way back again from 255c i think it is, so its really at -48c or so

tat and core temp allways read 4c when less then a certain amount, i think thats jsut where they stop at, speed fan usually reads it right

and no i havnt gone above 105, i usually never do much more then 105 personally

Thats what I figured but I would've expected an overclock in the 4ghz range if it was phase so I asked. Nice overclock btw

Tell me what your +12V are in smart guardian w/ your 620HX. Some guy on [H] was complaining of only getting +-11.65.

Whoops didn't see this post until just now.

Smartguardian gives me 11.9 on the +12V (idle and load).

E6400, DFI Infinity P965-S bios 4.24, 2x1024 Xtreem Team 1066 5-5-5-15 (2.3-2.4V). Need 1 reset for first boot, CPU Feature disable all. Foto with bios settings and Memtest 1.70 test #5.

And SuperPi 32M finish

[steelballzz]

i got my hands on one of those...

and my 1st thought was to test my ocz 9200 and see if it makes any major difference form my previous mobo (abit quad GT)

on abit i struggled to hit 600........
but with dfi dark........not only i raised my pi 1m limit on my ram but i was able to run all 3dmarks at 600 5-5-5- with 2,35 vdimm read by ITE


X6800 watercooled by apogee and dual BIX 240
2 x 1024 ocz 9200 flex 2,35 vdimm
dfi p-965 dark
twintech 8600 GTS
lc-power 850w














been working on "her" for 10 hours......
i am quite happy so far.......

[dsaraolu]

steelballzz try 4:5, not 2:3.

[luihed]

hey bro.. have you tested this board with silverstone psu's like the OP650??

any input please.. tnxs

Im using the Decathlon and no probs.... Im starting to like this board now, all the frustration at the beginning is starting to pay off......

[erwinz]

its nice to hear that.. hahaha.. waiting for this board to come to our country is killing.. hahaha

post some results..

may i know whats your bios setting for Ram?

[steelballzz]

steelballzz try 4:5, not 2:3.

4:5 doesnt work very well

may i know whats your bios setting for Ram?

#1 Mode3
#2:Auto
#3:normal
#4:normal
#5:Auto
#6:1
#7:2


trfc 60

the rest i dont know it just by memory.....and i am at work away from my rig

but i followed the guide from frecableguy at thetechrepository and his guidelines are great

at home i have a pic with memset open....later i will post it

[grsz06]

Is this board similar to the Commando?

[luihed]

Anybody runnin 4x1024 with this board and still getting high clocks???

Seems this board doesnt like 4 stix.... I think highest ive done is ~ 460fsb....

its nice to hear that.. hahaha.. waiting for this board to come to our country is killing.. hahaha

post some results..

Yeah waiting sux lol..... Ill get there, unless there's some overclockers at custom then... yoiu know how it is.....

Why do you run ur NBV at 1.5 when only running 400FSB? NBV should be able to run stock at that FSB.

Just curious
